But keep in mind that the segments I posted are small crops, about 1/3 of the long dimension of the image, so will not approach the quality of a full-sensor image. I would be happy to send you the largest crops of a DNG file from the M9 and an ARW file from the NEX that can go by email if you have any interest. For that matter, I'd like to see a corresponding portion of a DNG file of yours that represents the M9's true performance. ?howard On Mar 26, 2012, at 3:27 AM, Henning Wulff wrote: > Since neither is close to what I get from M9 pictures, something must have > been done differently. > > As mentioned before, test parameters have to be normalized to all possible > extents. > Were both shot RAW?
